Dude I bet that actor was so psyched to take the chair shot from Double J.
Paul William Hausen!
I love how the AEW audience wants to genuinely hate Jarrett so bad but hes such a good heel that you just can't. I'm watching late 80s Memphis which was Jarrett's first few years in the business and it's cool because he's the blandest, most white meat baby face imaginable, complete with that gorgeous drop kick that he still sometimes pulls off. He's done damn near everything there is to do in the wrestling world but I think most of these fans just know him from his weewoo weewoo TNA years so I guess I can forgive it.
I've always kind of wondered where he gets those flimsy ass guitars. Maybe there's a trick to gimmicking them but a legit guitar over the head will fuck you up (just ask Jake) and wouldn't blow out that way. He has to get them custom made or have found a factory in Mexico that pumps out ultra cheap guitars or something.
I forgot to mention that they also had Eddie and Ortiz vs Malakai and Brody King on. Eddie has always looked like shit but the last year or two he's also been getting gradually worse in the ring. I know he wasn't the most athletic guy to begin with but I think they need to pull the trigger on him now if they're gonna do it because I feel like he's slowing down fast.
Brody King is really good and needs a bigger singles push, but it's hard to fit him in to such a crowded picture so I'm not really sure what you do with him. They already did the Darby thing so maybe a beef battle against Keith Lee or Wardlow? Heel vs heel with Hobbs? Whatever they do, they need to get him in a feature program at some point this year because hes got a look and really uses his size well.
Positive reviews of Willie Macks elevation match against Brian Cage make me think he’ll be signed soon
Then I hope he, Keith Lee and Hobbs form a faction because they look like Pokémon evolutions of each other
My theory is they're all various love children of JYD from his cross country travels. The real life Dudley boys.
In all seriousness Willie Mack can go though, I haven't seen the elevation match but I've seen him on the indy and in other companies and he definitely gets it, or at least the modern version of "it". He's not a main eventer by any stretch, but as a lower midcard workrate guy he's better than a lot of the people they've given ample TV time to.
Found out about Jay in the middle of writing this. Same age as me. I'm reading it was a firey car crash and there were multiple fatalities as well as some young victims who were injured but survived so at least it wasn't as bad as it could have been I guess.
